For centuries the leopard has symbolized strength, vitality and cunning to man - magical powers have been attributed to its whiskers, claws, teeth, skin and bones. Now Gerald Hinde, who has been studying and photographing leopards for more than ten years, helps unravel the enigma of this animal. This book views the leopard in its present-day jungle, where a vehicle containing humans is as interesting a part of the environment as an ant heap.
